    Well, the US has shown that they couldn’t fight an insurgency with their level of protections for civilians.
    Makes sense that Israel assesses that they have less resources than the US, and thus can’t fight the same way and have a hope of success.

    Of course they could have used that as a pretty good reason not to start this war in the first placez but alas, they didn’t.

      What argument are you making here? Your first paragraph implies you believe that Isreal is justified in it’s approach based on the US’s failed conflicts with Guerilla warfare. But then your second paragraph implies that Isreal is not justified for exactly that reason, which is like… Yeah… That’s correct lol.

      I feel like it shouldn’t be a controversial opinion to say that if you are unable to conduct a war without massive civilian casualties then you shouldn’t be conducting that war. If you do anyway you are, at the very best, a war criminal.

      Israel stated this war, at a minimum, 17 years ago. Blockades are an act of war.
